So many people die every day, who lived every night without hope

Spendin' their time just standin' in line

Tuggin' on society's coat

So many people live every day like they ain't never gonna get old
* C5
Doin' their time like carps in the slime

Submarines with no periscopes

Verse 2:
(Note: Listen for strumming pattern on final G5)
D5 C5 G5 D5
So many people keepin' the pace, just the other side of grace
C5
Fakin' their smiles, just rankin' the file
G5 D5
Wild cheetahs but in a cage, oh baby now
* C5
So many people can't see the signs,
G5 D5
even though their eyes are just fine (their eyes are just fine)
* C5
Hittin' the stage a day late for the show
G5
Astronomers with no telescopes
